Yuma vs Sahara Lineup and Access

Hello everyone. I am planning of spending ALOT of time in the Yuma tent this year. Are the lineups and the crowds inside Yuma as impossible as those in the Sahara tent? Just want an idea as to what to expect/plan for as I cannot miss most of the DJs on Friday and Sunday night. Thanks in advance

Same. And then I literally saw someone hand the security guard at the exit money ($5? $20?) and thought it was one of the least Coachella things ever. I love the acts in the Yuma but the indoorsness and lines are kind of off-putting. The size this year is encouraging.

Although it did spur me to go see Four Tet in L.A. a few weeks ago and it was excellent. First time seeing him since I don't know how long at Spaceland.

I wouldn't draw much in the way of conclusions from last year's Yuma. The lines to get in last year were terrible for any major name, but it was the first year it was there, and it was pretty small inside. It's larger this year and in a whole new shape with possibly a divided interior, so no one really knows.

You also can't really compare it to the Sahara, since the Sahara is open on all sides, and the Yuma (at least last year) was totally enclosed with a specific entrance.

I think putting out the Yuma tent was the most brilliant thing GV ever! With EDM at full speed ahead, Sahara tent is doing what Sahara tent does best, RAGE!! Yuma last year did an amazing job of keeping the sounds of the underground where it belongs... In a dark and vibey kind of warehouse environment! People will come and go, but the heads will rip up that wooden dance floor with phat speaker stacks, and the utmost brilliant track selectors! I'll be in the HOUSE fo' sho!

Its not really underground now that's its at Coachella The scene will/has undoubtedly suffered. It used to be underground now your seeing more and more hipsters getting into this stuff.
